Chapter 108: The Truth About Blood (2)
"Big brother, what did you say the city lord had imprisoned all those untouchables in the stronghold for? ”
The young soldier casually threw his weapon to the ground, then took a sip of the jug of wine and asked his companion.
"Go, you shouldn't know something, what are you asking nonsense?
The older soldier did not answer directly, but slapped the recruit on the head and began to curse and reprimand.
"Big brother, there are only two of us in this passage, what are you afraid of, tell me, you said that you didn't see those people who were captured really entered our personal guard and were sent to fight, and you didn't see them go to the mine to work as coolies, where did these people go?"
Seeing the old soldier scolding angrily, the recruit instead had a hippie smile on his face, handed the wine jug in his hand to the old soldier, and continued to ask.
"Stinky boy, if it weren't for my sister-in-law entrusting you to me before she left, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you. ”
The older soldier took the flask and took two large sips, the red already on his cheeks, and he began to speak a little unstraight.
"I'm telling you, there are so many soldiers in the entire stronghold, I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows the whereabouts of those untouchables, hmph, as far as those captains and commanders are concerned, they may not be as clear as I know. ”
Maybe he really thought that there was no one in this passage, or maybe he was eager to share the secrets in his heart, and the older soldiers drank and began to gush endlessly.
"You know I was transferred to temporarily take charge of the untouchables, right?"
"One night, I sent the fifty untouchables who had been selected that day to the designated place, it was a mountain col, deserted, and the mountain wind at night was howling, not to mention the untouchables who were not clothed, our escorted brothers were choked by the cold. ”
"Then we knocked out the untouchables one by one, as we were requested, and left them all there, and then we went back the way we came. ”
The older soldier poured a sip of wine after saying a few words, but the young soldier on the side did not urge, as if he were listening to a story, and nodded frequently in the details.
On the contrary, Li Mu and Liu Long, who had been standing and hiding on the side, were so anxious that they couldn't do it, and they couldn't wait to rush up and slap the old drunkard twice, telling him not to be a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and to quickly say the point.
"But when I was halfway back, I suddenly remembered something, and then I told the other brothers that I wanted to go to the Peacock House in the middle of the night to drink flower wine, and everyone didn't suspect it, so I left the team and turned back. ”
The words of the older soldier made Li Mu and the others prick up their ears, this old guy is old, not only is he addicted to alcohol, but he also wants to drink flower wine, and he doesn't think that his life is long.
"I turned back to take something, and one of these untouchables was the son of the old man Yu Tou in the west of the city, who heard that his ancestor was also a nobleman, but then he fell and was destitute, but he had a glass smoking gun, and he was reluctant to sell it until he died, and then it was passed on to his son. ”
"Have you ever seen that glass smoking gun, emerald red, condensed like jade, it is definitely the best of the best, hehe, you also know that I like to smoke such a puff, so on the way I thought that this smoking gun must still be carried by the son of the old man, so I folded back and wanted to get it back. ”
When Li Mu and Liu Long heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, they didn't expect that this old miscellaneous hair was not only stained with wine, but also smoked a lot, such a person could gain a foothold in the pro-guards, and it was conceivable how worrying the quality of the pro-guards of the entire city lord's mansion was.
Then I climbed all the way up the hill by the light of the moon, but when I first entered the col, I noticed that something was wrong, the moon that had been hanging in the sky disappeared all at once, and the whole col was covered by a strange mist of blood, and the smell made me want to vomit when I think about it now. ”
"At that time, I panicked, I was afraid that something was wrong with that group of untouchables, if the city lord found out, wouldn't our team of brothers that night be unlucky? ”
Speaking of this, not only the young soldier, but also Li Mu and Liu Long, who were already standing stiff on the side, also held their breath, obviously what this veteran ruffian saw behind was very likely to be the truth of the huge fog shrouded in Lishui City.
"Then I ran down the hill with a roll and a crawl, but as I walked through a grove, you know what I saw?"
The old soldier shuddered involuntarily when he said this, and even though the memories of that night had passed in his mind for a long time, it still made him, an old fritter accustomed to life and death, frightened.
"In the blood-colored mist, there was a figure suspended in mid-air, shrouded in a huge blood-colored ball of light, and the support of the blood-colored ball of light was the fifty untouchables I escorted over. ”
"The untouchables who were originally stunned by us were lying there one by one, kneeling on the ground, but their upper bodies were straight, and the blood qi that I could see with my eyes poured out of their seven orifices and converged into the blood-colored ball of light in the air. ”
"What a dazzling glow of the blood-colored ball of light shone in the night, but it was fifty living beings who made it happen. ”
"I finally understood, why we are all men in the prime of life, whether we are conscripted or arrested on various charges, and our blood is vigorous, this is clearly someone practicing some kind of evil and cruel exercises, using the blood of living people to improve our strength. ”
Hearing this, the anger in Li Mu's heart was churning again, in the fairy world, there are many exercises and martial arts, like the stars in the sky, not to name a few, although a hundred schools of thought are blooming, any kind of cultivation method should be respected, but this practice of using other people's lives to improve cultivation has been the public enemy of all immortal cultivators since ancient times.
But in the immortal world where strength is respected, there will always be people who are obsessed with strength to the point of forgetting their own hearts, and demon cultivation is synonymous with this group of monks.
After slaughtering a million people, this demon cultivator achieved great achievements and achieved the consummation of the Tribulation Realm, and he was only one step away from the Flying Ascension Realm, the highest realm of cultivation, and the arrogance of his arrogance and the viciousness of his means were really unrivaled in that extreme north.
You must know that there are few decent sects there, and the strongest monks are only immeasurable or cross-tribulation beginners, relying on the mountain gate array can barely protect themselves, and if you want to eliminate demons head-on, you don't have that strength at all.
Fortunately, the heavens have eyes, and in the end, when the demon cultivator was slaughtering a big city, he met the medicine immortal Ouyang Ling who happened to pass by, at that time, the medicine immortal had already founded the Danxian Gate, and his own strength had also reached the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Realm.
The sky was dark, the sun and the moon changed color, and finally the medicine immortal skills were superior, and the demon cultivator was killed on the spot, which avoided a catastrophe for the entire immortal world.
When Li Mu heard that there were people in Lishui City who practiced this kind of evil sect technique based on the blood of a living person, he wanted to show his body on the spot, interrogate this old soldier ruffian, and ask who the figure he saw was.
But Liu Long on the side grabbed his arm, signaled himself to be restless, and listened to the old soldier continue.
Only then did Li Mu calm down, take a deep breath, and return his attention to the conversation between the two soldiers of the pro-guard team.
